1. Go to a dialog or page with a help button. 2. Hit help button to open the help. 3. Hit help button 3 or 4 more times (number seems to vary, depending on the dialog). 4. The first few times that you hit the button, the dialog and dynamic help stay constant. After that, if you hit the button again, the dailog and the help shrink in size. The dialog truncates badly. 5. If you then close the dynamic help, the dialog remains truncated. If bug 127852 is completed, then I would think that this bug will go away. If you hit F1 multiple times, this doesn't seem to happen. If the dialog size and position is persistent, then this is a worse problem. The new size is pretty much unusable. I'm not sure if this has accessibility implications. Not that visually impaired users will be prone to use that button (unless you fix bug 144238) - but I have seen cases in Eclipse where truncated text does not get read by JAWS. I don't believe that this is the norm - but I have seen it.
Double clicking in the toolbar is a feature that resizes the dialog back to its initial size. However there are two bugs here: 1) 140306 - It happens even if you click on the help button. This is partially fixed in 3.3 for the case of the help button which should solve your problem. 2) 162124 - The feature isn't tray-aware and if you do it while the tray is open it resizes back to the original size but the dialog still has the tray, so the dialog contents are way too small. I'll mark this one as a dup of the first one. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 140306 ***
